Pros and Cons of Getting an Engagement Ring with a Wedding Band

Bridal sets are popular, but do they make sense for you? Let’s take a look at the pros and cons. 

There’s no denying that bridal sets have become very popular in recent years. However, whether or not this is the right decision for you depends on a number of different factors. With that being said, let’s take a look at the pros and cons associated with buying a wedding band and engagement band together.

Pros of a Bridal Set

Let’s start off by taking a look at the advantages associated with opting to buy a wedding band when you purchase your engagement ring. 

The most obvious benefit of going down this route is the fact that you will be able to make sure that both the wedding ring and the engagement band match perfectly. If you buy the wedding ring at a later date, it can be incredibly difficult to find a ring that will match the ring you proposed with. 

An added benefit of purchasing a diamond wedding band at the same time is that you will often find that this is the most cost-efficient approach. A lot of jewelers will provide special offers on bridal sets, meaning it is going to be a lot cheaper to purchase the two rings together rather than buying each ring separately.

Cons of a Bridal Set

While there are some clear benefits associated with buying your wedding ring at the same time as your engagement ring, there are a number of disadvantages. 

It’s important to consider what your fianceé’s preferences are. If you’re not sure the exact style and look, you’re running the risk that your other half won’t be as in love with the ring as you would have hoped.

Another factor to consider is if you’re looking for a unique wedding band and engagement ring duo, it is unlikely that you will find them sold together. Bridal sets tend to include more traditional ring pairings, which means you would probably need to buy the two rings separately.
